Saint Mochta's Catholic ChurchPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 331 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mochta's Catholic Church presbytery in Astagob is the teacher's lounge of dreams. It’s pebble-dashed and fancy, like a very serious uncle who owns too many suits. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Burial ground in Astagob (castleknock By., Castleknock Ed)Burial ground · 385 ydExplorer Tom Burial ground in Astagob has been flattened for football pitches now. That cow tried to buy the whole lot but got kicked out by the groundskeeper. If anyone asks, Tom sent you on this wild goose chase.
Annfield HouseHouse · 522 ydExplorer Tom Annfield House dates from around 1740 and is where Archbishop John Troy was born in 1739, which is a big deal for a house. It’s got wings leading to pavilions and a central gable-fronted entrance bay. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching but the ghosts.
Giant Sequoia1121 ydExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Dublin is having an existential crisis because it has an imaginary twin across the sea it’s never met. It’s huge, loud, and completely out of place here, like a giant in a small room. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1675 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Woodville is basically a ghost with no body, sitting on the Liffey bank where an 18th-century mansion used to be. It’s invisible at ground level, which is a bold fashion choice for a castle that wants to be found. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Hermitage ParkPark · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Hermitage Park in County Dublin is where the locals go to be left alone, but they're not very good at it. No records? I bet there's a hermit who actually enjoys the company. Say hi!
Ginkgo1.3 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Dublin would tell its younger self to stop trying so hard to look prehistoric. It’s a survivor, but it doesn’t need to brag about being older than dinosaurs every five minutes. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID at the park gate.
Church, GraveyardChurch · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Church in Clonsilla, County Dublin has had so many names it's getting confused. The land has history going back to 500AD, which is older than some of us are old. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin has a New Year's resolution to stop leaning so much to the left. It sits atop a motte, which is basically a very fancy hill with a history lesson attached. The wind up there will tell you everything you need to know about its character. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
The Royal Canal WayWalking route · 2.0 miExplorer Tom The Royal Canal Way in County Dublin is stuck near Castleknock. The water looks lazy, so I’m betting the path is too. Drop a shot of that lock for my album!
IndicatedFairy fort / ringfort · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Fairy fort or ringfort in Corduff is a 42-meter platform that looks like it’s been chewed on by time and then spit out near some playing pitches. It’s got trees on top, which I assume are its new hairdo. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from the kids.
Griffeen Valley WalkWalking route · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Griffeen Valley Walk in County Dublin has a river that merges into Vesey Park, which sounds like a fancy garden party gone wrong. Grab a photo of the water for me!
